Recipe to Stretch a Dollar: Tuna Cakes
Everything you need to make these tasty tuna cakes! Recipe Below!
Mix together 2 cups cooked rice (can use leftover) wit 1 can of tuna, 1 cup frozen mixed veggies, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar. Add 2 eggs, salt,
pepper, and dried dill. Make sure it’s all mixed together well.
Scoop into patties and fry in a pan with your fave oil, flipping partway through, or, this can be baked in the oven. Alternatively, it can be all placed into a pan at once and baked in the oven, or cooked on the stove top. Don’t worry about flipping with this method. To cook quicker on the stove top, cover with a lid.
Serve with sauce and enjoy!
Sauce:
Mix together three tablespoons Greek yogurt, and two tablespoons of mayonnaise. Add in salt, pepper, and chopped dill pickles. I use three or four, depending on how big they are. You can also add a splash of pickle juice.
